The Biden administration on Tuesday announced that it has resumed flights of Afghan evacuees into the United States, after the flights had been shut down last month due to a measles outbreak.
Fox News first reported that Fort McCoy Army Base in Wisconsin, one of a number of bases involved in processing Afghan refugees, had identified a case of the measles. Within days of that case, flights were shut down after officials confirmed four cases of measles among those arriving in the U.S.
